Germination in plants is the process in which dormant seed begins to grow and sprout under certain growing conditions. The English pea‚ also known as the garden pea‚ is a member of the legume family and is known to grow roughly three to four inches long. Research shows that it only takes approximately 1 week for the seed to start to germinate. There are many things that can affect‚ the growth of the pea seed such as; temperature‚ moisture‚ planting depth and sunlight. The pea grows best in temperatures

Fruits and Seed Dispersal Nicole Saylor Meiko M. Thompson BIO 115 11/25/12 In this essay I will be answering questions about fruit and as to the reason why things are the way they are... First up is some fruits are sweet and some are not is because‚ “Actually‚ the taste of a fruit depends on the compounds present in it. Normally a fruit contains the materials like cellulose‚ proteins‚ starch‚ vitamins‚ certain acids‚ fructose or sugar. All these materials are found in mixed form inside the

Bioassay of Radish Seeds Bioassay is a type of scientific experiment used in the development of new drugs and monitoring pollutants. It estimates the potency of a substance‚ by testing its effect on living matter. In other words‚ it determines how much of the substance is needed to poison an individual‚ without testing it on any humans or animals. From here the TC50 of the substance can be adjusted for dealing with humans and animals over plants. In this lab we attempted to find the potency of

During the Toxicity of Morton Salt on Radish Seeds experiment‚ we measured the levels of iodized Morton Salt to the growth rate of radish seeds. Each six packets had ten radish seeds with different level of iodized salt solution. The packet with no iodized salt solution grew the longest in a period of days‚ compared to the other packets that had iodized salt. Solutions 100% and 10% had no growth progress within the past five days. As for solutions 1%‚ .1%‚ and .01% grew‚ yet not as much nor fast

SOP: Solid phase extraction of cylindrospermopsin in filtered water samples Document identifier: SOP_TOXIC_UDU_05F Prepared by: James S. Metcalf and Geoffrey A. Codd‚ UDU Date: 7 July 2005 1 Introduction In order to determine the concentration of cylindrospermopsin in the extracellular fraction of filtered environmental waters‚ solid phase extraction (SPE) is necessary to concentrate the toxin to concentrations capable of being detected by HPLC. 2 Experimental 2.1 Materials

MonSATAN and The Bad Seed My research topic will examine the effect of Monsanto’s current monopoly over the majority of America’s food supply‚ regarding Genetically Modified Organisms. First‚ I will reveal how Monsanto’s sustainable agricultural mission statement is crooked‚ based on myths and false assumptions and instead they’re responsible for large-scale government corruption. Biotech companies have the majority of society completely oblivious that they’re using us humans as test subjects

called extraction. Extraction is a systematic process of separating mixtures of compounds‚ taking advantage of the affinity differences of compounds to separate them (Padias 128-37). This technique recognizes the principle that “like dissolves in like‚” that is‚ polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. Through extension of this principle‚ one can use extraction to separate compounds of a mixture. There are three different methods of extraction; solid-liquid

Berry DNA Extraction Lab I. Problem Statement: Successfully extracting the DNA from strawberries. II. Background info: DNA is the genetic information in organisms that codes for proteins‚ and controls the cells function. The DNA is a double helix molecule that is formed by various nucleotides which include Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Guanine‚ and Cytosine with sugar phosphate. Different organisms can have larger or smaller genes. DNA is also what makes up chromosomes during cell replication. Strawberries

Introduction Extraction is a purification technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds from a mixture of two or more compounds. There are three different extraction techniques: liquid-liquid extraction‚ solid-liquid extraction and chemically active extraction. All three types of extraction follow the same principle. Organic molecules dissolve in organic solvents and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solvents. This phenomenon is observed because of the intermolecular forces between

The story I selected is called Sea Ink by Jennifer Linnaea. It is a short story about a young girl‚ named Althea‚ who is in possession of a sorcerer’s book. She is thinking about her friend‚ a small boy that was thrown overboard a ship as a sacrifice to the Little God of the finned fishes. She is worried that her friend is unhappy with the god‚ so she spends her time trying to help him; “Standing on the deck with the priests‚ everyone staring at the spot in the sea where no sign of a boy remained
